• Forward Low-Current and VG > ½ VC
• VC pin Under-Voltage
Reverse current is the only fault condition that
initiates gate turn-off of the MOSFET (as well as a
fault flag signal). Forward Over-Current and
Forward Low-Current fault conditions issue a fault
flag signal to the FT pin, but do not affect the gate
of the MOSFET. The FT pin serves as an indicator
that a fault condition may be present. This
information can be reported to a Host to signal that
some system level maintenance may be required.
The FT pin can be connected to VC pin or system
logic bias voltage via a current limiting resistor.
When pulling up FT to an unregulated voltage
connect FC to FT . FC will clamp FT voltage to
one diode drop above VC. This current will return to
ground through the internal shunt.
